Dale Roberts (Northern Mariana Island footballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG - hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Also fails WP:NSPORTS, hasn't played in a tier 1 international match as per. Northern Mariana Islands are not FIFA-affiliated, therefore can't play tier 1 international matches. Simione001 (talk) 23:02, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep - Has played for the national team, thus fulfilling WP:NFOOTY. Has an interesting backstory as well. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 20:15, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - hasn't played in a FIFA-recognised match; the 'interesting backstory' argument is not related to any policy so I can't see any reason for keeping this article Spiderone  16:55, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - his country is not in FIFA, he is probably not professional. &mdash; Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 20:38, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
